" The master doesn't live for aspirant. He lives for the moment."
The dealing with any thing starts from the first meeting.Have you met a guitar before...NO
but you must have met a girl. The first meeting with the girl will be gentle, quiet, emotional,
relaxed, happy, then step by step in progress to relationship. Same thing with the classical guitar.
The reaction of any thing depends on how you are dealing with it, and this applies to the classical guitar.
At first you'll find hard dealing with, because you start from the place that you shouldn't start, it's from your illusion. Exa: when you believe that you can play a piece music you have heard before (shock... ). The life is hard if you don't accept what you are, but after that the progress will come soon. Same thing with the classical guitar and contrary is also cause same problem, that you think you can't play " I feel bored I can't play". The beginning is easy and the progress is easy too if you start step by step.
The enjoyment:I heard that the people who enjoy learning another language are faster to learn than the people who don't find any enjoyment in the learning. Feel enjoyment in every step.
The criticism and fame:every one will criticize you as you are a master, they want every thing completely. The criticism is good if the purpose to build, but if it wasn't in the same line with the knowledg of the music or the classical guitar, it will be destroying. A lot fame cause a lot criticism. Remember this, look to the fame as you are on the top of mountain and the fame in the bottom of mountain. More fame = more problems.
The Master :you dream to be a master,good, but I'm still amateur (I'm J ).Waht you are in your life is what you will be in your playing with the classical guitar. Be your self don't imitate, " imitation = suicide ". Be relaxed with every situation.You are not in competition, you are in enjoyment. The master starts from the enjoyment and accept every step as it the best music he is playing.
- The control on the guitar make contorl in your life and vice versa.
- Silent life is your progress in playing.
- Stumbling and getting up again are a part of success, but total despair is a part of ...
How to start :
- If you have any conceptions about classical guitar, get rid of them (may be you need a time .. don't care).
- Your ability of playing depend on achieving to your goal.
- In the playing sport the best progress for muscles produced, when you focus on the muscle you are playing.
The work must be shared between the mind and the body. Same thing with the classical guitar.
- Give your conception about every step, this is the way to be on the line of the master.
- Feel every part of the guitar. Make the guitar belongs to you.
- Know what you are doing. don't do any thing without control. ( same thing in the life ).
